    Question. Is there a study that looks at rates of Covid infection especially among the elderly to see if it correlates with hearing problems and access to hearing aids? It’s much harder to stay distanced when people can’t hear you. Same issue with loud workplaces—meatpacking.

        I can definitely see that happening just like everything else that failed. But not being able to hear well would definitely impact how close people got—caregivers, healthcare workers—and also their propensity to shout, which produces more aerosols.https://twitter.com/bgrffn/status/1359954776746778635 …

        This is a fantastic question. There is hearing aid industry data showing sales were temporarily down in 2020 primarily due to access & pandemic closures of many local clinics.

        UNC is currently vaccinating the elderly and what I’m observing is a lot of people leaning *into* each other to give—sometimes shout—instructions. Of course, everyone is masked (surgical masks mandatory plus many double masking) but thinking about places without such controls

        Meat packing is also usually pretty cold right? I’ve often wondered about the effect of temperature

        As someone who has hearing loss, I have to tell you: that joke has never been funny.

        More shouting, too! Spreads a lot more aerosols.

        It’s a good question. That might be something that can be found in the data @bengoldacre and colleagues has access to.

        There is a gentleman who works at our local post office who is deaf and relies on reading lips. He is very adept at his job but has a sign up asking people to lower their masks if he asks them so he can understand them better. :(
